Route Error within Rails App

Question

In the process of installing Elasticsearch (which works fine) the ability to log out of my app isn't working anymore. I get the following error message.

    No route matches [GET] "/users/sign_out"

    Rails.root: C:/Users/mdavis/workspace/intakelog

    Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace

    Routes match in priority from top to bottom

When I run Rake Routes, I see the correct path.

I looked at the following post thinking it might be related but, I can't figure this out.

I don't understand why it is looking for `javascript/default.js` and not `assets/default.js` — MMachinegun, Nov 13 '15 at 19:20
where do you call your signout? do you use `link_to(signout_path, :method => "delete")` — MMachinegun, Nov 13 '15 at 20:02
Interesting: this seems to have been an issue before, and was unresolved for the previous OP too. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19749311/signing-out-with-devise-geting-instead-of-posting-in-rails-4-every-time — James Milani, Nov 13 '15 at 21:10
Are you using Turbolinks? Have you killed the gem, require statement, and calls to it in your views? Obviously, you need to bundle and restart your server as well. That could at least let us know if it's related or not... — James Milani, Nov 13 '15 at 21:17
also, after restarting your server, show us the output of the HTML... it's obviously calling `get` instead of `delete` — davegson, Nov 17 '15 at 11:02

If you have a default.js it might be that your application wants to precompile it first.

If so you have to set it in your config/initializers/assets

Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( default.js )

I never had a default.js file. – M.T Davis Nov 13 '15 at 19:29
I supect that it has something to do with the `<%= javascript_include_tag "default", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>` in my application.html.erb file but I'm not sure why. It's the only function not working. – M.T Davis Nov 13 '15 at 19:42
sorry, I just saw `ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/javascripts/default.js")` so I thought you were having troubles there ^^) – MMachinegun Nov 13 '15 at 19:58
should I rollback when everything was working and try to redo the steps for Elasticsearch and searchkick? – M.T Davis Nov 16 '15 at 20:16
Of course trial and error is always an option, especially when you can't get to the route of it. I myself am also not sure where the error could lie... – MMachinegun Nov 16 '15 at 20:29

The request method for the route missing message is [GET]:

No route matches [GET] "/users/sign_out"

But the route definition you have only accepts the DELETE method:

destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format)
new_user_session GET    /users/sign_in(.:format)
user_session POST   /users/sign_in(.:format)
destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format)

So making a GET request to that url is an invalid route.

In the comments the OP states how s/he's calling the route, and s/he says that it's being called with `:method => :delete` in the link_to... – James Milani Nov 14 '15 at 01:33
@James Milani Everything was working fine before I installed Easticsearch using the searchkick gem from my Windows workstation. However, before that I created the entire app from an Linux workstation. I'm not sure if that would had made anything difference. – M.T Davis Nov 16 '15 at 20:11

The solution to this problem was that <%= javascript_include_tag 'application' %> wasn't stated in the application.html.erb file correctly. I needed to simplify the <%= javascript_include_tag "default", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>. I'm not sure why I needed to change it in order for it to work.
